We report the first known case of an annular pancreas associated with pancreaticobiliary maljunction without cholangiectasis in an infant, aged 2 years and 5 months in Japan. Only two other cases have been reported in Japan both of which were in adults. In our case, the main clinical features were
Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) usually is associated with choledochal cyst. PBM without dilatation of the common bile duct is rare in infants and children. This rare type of the anomaly may lead to the development of malignancy of the bile duct in later life. The authors report the clinical
Cylindrical choledochal dilatation, associated with anomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union, causes recurrent episodes of right hypochondrial pain, vomiting, and fever. The symptoms are very often accompanied by hyperamylasemia, which is generally considered to be due to acute pancreatitis.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been widely used in pediatric patients with cholangiopancreatic diseases.To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and long-term follow-up results of ERCP in symptomatic pancreaticobiliary maljunction OBJECTIVE
To discuss the imaging anatomy about pancreaticobiliary ductal union, occurrence rate of pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) and associated diseases in a Chinese population by using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).
METHODS
Data were collected from 694 patients who
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this report was to elucidate the relation between pancreatitis and obesity in children.
METHODS
We present a case of recurrent acute pancreatitis in an obese girl.
RESULTS
A 7-y-old healthy obese girl was admitted with epigastric pain and vomiting. She had prior history of three
BACKGROUND
In children with choledochal cysts (CC), obstruction of the discharge of bile or pancreatic juice is frequently observed, and biliary perforation and severe pancreatitis may occur. In such cases, temporary drainage is necessary to stabilize these patients. We employed laparoscopic
OBJECTIVE
Choledochal cyst of the bile duct is characterized by cystic dilatation of the intra- or extrahepatic bile ducts. It is a relatively uncommon disease and there is still much controversy regarding its etiology as being congenital or acquired.
METHODS
The medical records of 60 patients who
We herein report a 3-year-old male demonstrating invasive cholangiocarcinoma (CC) associated with congenital biliary dilatation (CBD). A 3-year-old Japanese boy was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a dilated
